Cotton Elastane Dressmaking French Terry - BIG Stripe - Pale Pink and Burgundy

Cotton Elastane Dressmaking French Terry - BIG Stripe - Pale Pink and Burgundy

Fabric Composition - 95% Cotton 5% Elastane 

Pink and Burgundy Big Stripe French Terry Fabric

In English, the term "terry" or "terry cloth" refers to fabrics with woven or knitted loops. Terry cloth is perhaps the most well-known example of this. With French terry, the function of the loops is a little different than with terry cloth. Terry cloth is woven with loops that are as long as possible, so that the fabric can absorb as much moisture as possible. French terry can also do this, but the loops on the inside are mainly intended to make the fabric warm, soft, and comfortable for the wearer. In addition, unlike most terry cloth items, French terry is smooth and even on the outside.

French terry is therefore most often compared to jersey fabric. French terry is thicker and heavier. The fabric is ideal for clothing to wear in late summer and autumn.  Sometimes French terry contains a small percentage of elastane to ensure that the fabric stretches better.

Because French terry is soft and falls nicely, it is an ideal fabric for children's clothing. For active children, we recommend choosing French terry with elastane. The fabric will move easily with them, making the clothing extra comfortable. French terry is also suitable for use in sportswear. The loops on the inside of the fabric absorb body moisture, preventing the wearer from becoming cold while running or training.
